When people encounter joyous events, their spirits are lifted. Just yesterday, Ho Xiaosheng sold fish twice and happily earned over ten taels of silver, which made him extremely delighted.
The only slight disappointment was that he had promised Boss Yan to release the fish back into the wild, but he didn't manage to accomplish it.
However, he couldn't be blamed for that. A distinguished guest from the Capital City wanted to eat fish, how could he refuse? Even if this got out, no one would say he didn't handle things with finesse.
But Ho Xiaosheng really didn't want to give the charity silver meant for the fish release!
What kind of person is Ho Xiaosheng? He's the kind of person who puts dumplings in a teapot, someone who only ever brings in without putting anything out.
If he heard there were fish in a ditch or a pond, he'd fish them until none were left, not even sparing the small fry!
